HELP US TEST OUT THE NEW CHAT SERVER!
In our first stage, we want to make sure everyone can log in and then we'll add in more features to the new server.
Replacing our old Flash-based chat system, we're implementing a new, more robust chat server that will allow us to connect to other networks like Google Talk, MSN, Yahoo and IRC. |
We'll have web-based access up shortly, but recommend a full featured-im client. We've tested access using iChat on Mac, Psi on Windows and Mac and Spark on Windows and Mac. The following examples will show you how to get up and running using the free Jabber client, Spark. |
